Tonight my hair and I will be playing alongside the indomitable Andy Fitzpatrick (proud owner of one of the lamest websites ever) at Rockwood Music Hall. Joining us with be Andrea Longato and Jamie Alegre. Both very good looking.
A warm and fuzzy happy Birthday to Mr. Jamie Alegre, pictured below laying down some sweet cabasa at The Nunnery for the forthcoming Andy Fitzpatrick release!
Andy and I are heading up to Waterfront Studios in Hudson on Monday to mix about 300 songs in 72 hours. Or Something. Over the last couple days we added various percussion, some Moogish sounding Wurlitzer with my amazing MLM and equally amazing 1957(ish) Magnatone pictured below, and even had Andy recut a lead vocal. What? Yeah. You heard me right. I’m pretty sure the world is coming to an end too.
And speaking of how I’ve had the first 6 songs of Foo Fighters “In You Honor” on repeat for the last hour, with any luck the forthcoming Casey Shea LIVE ALBUM will have as much crowd noise. And btw, if you haven’t seen the new Casey Shea video, you can click this part of this sentence and just be positively amazed.
Hopefully the above paragraph contains some form of copyright infringement.
And speaking of having the new timeline, tonight I’ll grace the stage with one Wes Hutchinson at Rockwood Muzak Hall where we’ll be recording the show for something called a LIVE ALBUM. Coincidence? You decide. Anyway, we go on at 8pm.
Mwah!

P.S. Don’t forget to get to Rockwood early and check out All Night Chemists!
In related news, earlier today I was killing time whilst getting some windows replaced in ol’ apartemento and decided to finally listen to a few “song” demos from one Casey Shea. What’s that? You never heard of him? Doesn’t really matter. The point is that we’re gonna go into something called “the studio” next week to do something called “record music.” In preparation we’re gonna do something called “rehearse.” I know, it seems like a bad idea to me too. Anyway, I thought I’d share one of his new songs with you and maybe get some feedback before we commit ourselves to this new direction for the band …

P.P.P.S. If you don’t already have plans for Mardi Gras, come down to Lady Jays in Brooklyn on FAT TUESDAY where I’ll be mixing up some jazz tunes New Orleans style with Misty Boyce (keys) and Jamie Alegre (drumset)!
